Usually, the mentioned ceramic bodies are made of alumina containing silica-based minerals. The required amount of alumina for these products is provided through these minerals but when high quality and precision are the main focus of manufacturing ceramic bodies like intensive-use hotelware calcined alumina comes to play. Alpha offers different grades of calcined alumina with various particle size distributions, soda content and specific surface area suitable for these applications.

ALPHA calcined alumina and alumina-based products made with care and precision are the best choice for manufacturing standard ceramics.
